Abstract

Six runs were submitted for the Adaptive Filtering track, four on the adaptive filtering task (ok11af??), and two on the routing task (msPUM?). The adaptive filtering system has been somewhat modified from the one used for TREC-10, largely for efficiently and flexibility reasons; the basic filtering algorithms remain similar to those used in recent TRECs. For the routing task, a completely new system based on perceptrons with uneven margins was used.
